Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, September 25, 2007: Out beyond Ho Chi Minh City and its immediate surroundings, Vietnam is a quilt of distinctive regions and cultural differences. Too few Westerners venture into this land of beautiful countryside, delicious cuisines and charming smaller cities and towns. Now TouringIndochina.com's new offering of South East Asian bicycle tours will take travelers into the heart of Vietnam and beyond into the bordering countries of Laos and Cambodia. What's more, travellers can choose to outfit themselves for touring at the new South Saigon retail outlet.

TouringIndochina.com offers a signature approach to touring Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. The entire experience is tailored to the unique requirements of the group. Those looking for assurance of pre-arranged accommodations and great meals will have it. While others looking for a more rough experience have the freedom to stray from the beaten path and get a real taste of local culture. TouringIndochina.com itineraries are for people who don't think that stepping on and off of buses and trains is the best way to travel; they are for people who want to meet the locals and want to stop and take in the ambience.

In addition to their world class tour itineraries the parent company, Golden Rose Trading and Travel has opened a retail outlet in the heart of upscale South Saigon. The September 22^nd, 2007 grand opening was visited by locals, expats and tourists alike looking for exclusive offerings of precision cycles and accessories.
